There’s a national guard base at the airport and it’s normal to see them

There is not one but two military air bases in the immediate regional area that exists to maintain and train multiple squadrons of fighter jets.
For the rest of your time in Boise (and literally any city in the US that is within 200 miles of a military base with a runway), the answer to your question “What’s going on with the fighter jets flying over?” will almost always be:
Training. They are doing regular degular training flights. If you hear them a lot more often or they sound closer for a couple weeks each year? They are doing some sort of visiting fighter squadron training exercise and those are just more jets or different louder jets. If they seem to be happening less often? They are not doing training exercises with a visiting squadron. If it sounds like a bunch of different kinds of jets/planes of all sizes flying over for one weekend? That’s not training—that’s the air show. Stadium flyovers? Jokes on you, those are training exercises.

It is the scheduled "show of force" you know to keep the rabble from getting any ideas on this day of protest.

Air National Guard at Gowen Field (parallel to Boise Airport). The Guard do the majority of training and certifications to stay current in their duty assignments on the weekend. They may fly joint trainings with Mountain Home Air Force Base at the same time. The Guard is primarlly an A10 Warthog base, though it does have a good set of helicopters as well. The Mountain Home AFB is a F15 fighter squadron. Soooooo... sometimes you see all sorts of craft in the sky.
